Screen Resolution is the number of pixels on the screen - it only matters regarding how much information you wish to place on the screen.

Text Size is how large the text is relative to the original specified size. If you increase the text size value, the size of text will increase in applications. Increasing text size is attempting to fit larger text in a space designed for smaller text.

The ARC was designed for text size 125%

Windows 10 screwed everything up by setting the default value to 125% which is ridiculous but uncontrollable. Some tablets are set to 150%

Are you using MSDN to develop ARC? There are many ways for an applications to handle screen size changes. Some are more automatic than others.

OK, in your tutorial you say to slid the text size slider all the way to the left. In my version of Win 10 this takes the size to 100%. You then say that ARC is designed for 125% text size. I assume its ok to then not drag it all the way to the left but to stop at 125%?

A found a lot of other things not as listed in your tutorial. I assume like everything else the nerds at Windwos took it upon themselves to change the names of things from version to version. This makes your tutorial hard to follow. I hate it and do not understand it when they do this. I see the reason to make things work better but why change the names of the same function! "I hate those guys." (said in the true Animal House tradition).

OK, I followed your directions and I like!

I tried this several times in the past and I don't know why it didn't work then. Maybe I needed to reboot. This did the trick for me. I no longer have to squint at the screen to see my controls. In Win 10 on my Hi Res HP, 17" screen, I have my resolution set to 1600x900 and the text size set to 125%. The rest of the programs on my laptop are viewable but still a little small for my taste. This is what I get in ARC. Remember I was having the same problem with cut off text as Tony:

I'm going to try this now on my old Dell.

My Old Dell only goes up to 1280 X 800 Resolution. This is where it was set and my text size is 100%. If I bump my text up to 125% everything is Huge in ARC but is still visible. Could any of this result in my controls getting pushed up under the menu bar? I think tony said he still is having this issue also. It looks likk this after each restart of ARC:

This panel the vertical size of the listbox followed the borders but the horizontal size did not. They are not anchored correctly.

This panel even the vertical size isn't anchored properly. Please can't someone in the software fix this simple problem?

Is it safe to say Tony opened a can of worms here?

Everyone, please follow the setup tutorial mentioned in this post as the instructions are clear. Set resolution to 1080p and configure text size to 100% or 125% but no higher.

It can also be found by clicking ARC manual on the download page.

@billPlays, your usage log resolution reads: 3840x2160 (96x96 dpi), which is not recommended for ARC. Please use the following link to configure the display settings for ARC: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=207

@Dave, you will find the instructions (https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=207) mention how rebooting is necessary.
